Escondido’s first Net Zero Energy, Carbon Neutral Agri-Neighborhood Planned
Concordia Homes updated its plan for a proposed 550 estate home project in Escondido’s San Pasqual Valley that will result in a greener development. Harvest Hills is planned as Escondido’s first ever carbon neutral, net zero energy and agri-neighborhood housing community.
Concordia Homes’ Jeb Hall says, “As we worked to fully integrate the agri-neighborhood, net zero energy and carbon neutral features into the design, it became clear that a new name and brand representing these new features was needed.”
Harvest Hills will continue Escondido’s long agricultural tradition in a contemporary way as an agri-neighborhood. Harvest Hills’ seven distinct neighborhoods will include gardens, groves and boutique greenhouses. The Farmhouse community center will serve as the heart of the community.
Green features include extensive rooftop solar and battery energy storage systems and energy efficient appliances, lighting, insulation and windows. Greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced through a variety of measures, including a first-of-its-kind electric vehicle ownership financial incentive program.
